[QUOTE="FancyIdeas, post: 204655, member: 6393"] Until my old printer died, I was able to print in ANY COLOR - if I was out of black ink - by simply highlighting the text, and changing it to print in 'blue' (for example). In this way, I was able to get a hard copy of something that I needed - without having to go to the store for a new black ink cartridge before I could print it. This worked 'in reverse', also, in that if I was out of 'blue' (for example), I could still print in BLACK! I got a new Epson - and to my horror, discovered that NO MATTER WHAT COLOR I WANT TO PRINT IN, if ANY INK CARTRIDGE IS EMPTY, IT WILL NOT PRINT. Once ANY color is empty, I am UNABLE TO PRINT ANYTHING. In slogging through numerous calls to factory tech support (& translating various accents), I have so far learned that HP printers have the same problem. I then called numerous printer repair shops - and they told me that it WAS possible to find a printer that would function if one ink cartridge was empty. BUT, I would probably have to hunt for a SPECIFIC MODEL to find this ability. At this point, I would be quite happy with an older printer that had been trustfully refurbished, if I could simply print something when I needed it, without being limited to an 'all or nothing' print situation. I do want the ability to print, copy, enlarge, scan, fax and have wi-fi. Can someone make suggestions about a) what specific brand/model to look for,, and b) the best place to find it at a good price? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
